A fishing pink with sails furled

A near port quarter view showing details on deck with three men on board. The loosely furled square-sail is hoisted half-mast high. The sail on the small foremast is also furled.

Although a Dutch type, the vane at the masthead has a cross in the hoist and the vessel may be English

This is a pencil drawing by the Younger, signed in brown ink ‘W.V.VJ’.
